time table for beta1

Folks,

I think it might be about time to start thinking concretely about when
we might like to kick beta1 out the door. The open issues list still
has 9 issues on it, but we now have patches awaiting review for most
of those issues (credit where credit is due: Fujii Masao, Noah Misch,
Joey Adams, Peter Eisentraut, Shigeru Hanada). I have the impression
from the SSI threads that there might be an issue or two there that
needs to be dealt with, but there again I think that there are patches
already posted, and that we just need to get around to dealing with
them. So unless someone is aware of a large reservoir of other work
that has to be taken care of before we can proceed, it's probably time
to think about setting a deadline for ourselves and trying to hit it.
At the risk of getting laughed at, how about, say, ~2 weeks from now?
Plus or minus a couple of days based on people's schedules and which
day of the week we'd like the wrap to happen on.

Thoughts?
